Chapter 203 Meeting
"Heh~" Kakashi Hatake chuckled softly.
He knew where Obito Uchiha's weakness lay. The other party's arrogance was utterly presumptuous.
Ignoring Obito Uchiha, who was frozen in place with a face as ugly as if he had eaten shit, he was about to continue walking forward when he suddenly saw Rin Nohara's expression changing.
Kakashi Hatake had a bad feeling in his heart.
They were so focused on counterattacking Obito Uchiha that they forgot this was an area-of-effect attack.
He looked awkwardly at Nohara Rin, whose mood had suddenly plummeted, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say.
"Look what you've done!" Obito Uchiha complained to Kakashi Hatake, then hurried over to Rin Nohara's side.
"Rin, Kakashi—"
"I'm fine." Nohara Rin didn't let Uchiha Obito continue, she gave him a bright smile.
"I was just spacing out. Let's go back."
She spoke as she walked forward as if nothing had happened.
But in my heart, that familiar figure inevitably comes to mind again.
Nebula~
Nohara Rin silently recited this in her heart.
In his mind, the other person's appearance became clearer and clearer.
Although Kakashi Hatake and Obito Uchiha never mentioned this name in front of her, this was the front line, and she could still hear news about Shingetsu Nebula from other ninjas from time to time.
Leaf Demon Star.
A genius from an ordinary ninja clan.
A powerful ninja who surpasses even a Jonin.
She told herself to stop listening and stop paying attention, but whenever she heard other ninjas talking about each other, she couldn't help but stop and watch.
Reach out and gently touch your heart.
That was the necklace that Shenyue Xingyun had given her.
If we meet again, how should we face each other?
Her absent-mindedness was noticed by Obito Uchiha, who, even if he was stupid, knew that Rin Nohara was in a bad mood.
"Rin, please don't overthink it. Kakashi didn't bring it up on purpose."
"Lin, let's roast some potatoes when we get back. We haven't had them in ages."
"Lin, look at me, okay?"
Nohara Rin looked helplessly at Uchiha Obito.
"Obito, I'm fine now that I've told you."
"But you clearly look like you have something on your mind," Obito Uchiha said with concern.
"Lin, listen to me, don't take any of the people or things that make you unhappy to heart."
"Don't worry, as I cultivate diligently and become stronger, I will eventually awaken the Three Tomoe."
"By then, I'll definitely be a Jonin, and I'll protect you then."
Rin Nohara gave a faint, wry smile: "Thank you, Obito."
"But no need, you should focus on your own cultivation."
Obito felt a slight pang of pain in his heart.
Just as I was feeling heartbroken, I suddenly heard voices coming from ahead.
The voice sounds somewhat familiar.
He looked up and first saw his team leader, Jonin Minato Namikaze, following the sound. But then he saw a familiar figure, his pupils dilated, and his body tensed up abruptly.
God Moon Nebula!
He was absolutely certain! The young ninja walking and chatting with Minato Namikaze was none other than Shingetsu Seiun! His face was unlike any other in the entire ninja world!
In an instant, a very familiar, unpleasant feeling washed over his entire body like cold water.
Tension, vigilance, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The other party almost took his beloved Lin away from him.
Now that they haven't seen each other for several years, just when Lin had almost forgotten about him, he suddenly reappeared!
This guy must have done it on purpose!
Feeling an immense sense of crisis, Obito Uchiha suddenly stepped forward, blocking Rin Nohara's path. He didn't notice her subtly shifting her position to allow herself to see the figure ahead.
While on guard, he subconsciously glanced at Kakashi Hatake. Although he sometimes found the other person very disagreeable, and although the other had a bad temper and a sharp tongue, Kakashi Hatake, as a teammate, gave him a sense of security.
Kakashi Hatake was also looking at the Shingetsu Nebula.
Watching the other party and Minato Namikaze chatting and laughing so calmly, the subtle aura they exuded made him unconsciously wary.
His body's intuition told him that the other party was strong and dangerous.
At that moment, Minato Namikaze, who was talking with Shingetsu Seiun, saw the group and his gaze shifted.
"Kakashi, you're back. How are you? Are you alright?"
Kakashi Hatake nodded: "Successfully completed."
"That's good." Minato Namikaze continued, "By the way, this is a Jonin from the Nebula clan, a skilled ninja sent by the Hokage to support the northern front."
"Nebula Jonin, this is Hatake Kakashi. He's an exceptionally skilled ninja who excels at completing missions. I've already reported to the Hokage, and he'll be a Jonin soon."
"7
"You're about the same age, you should know each other, right?"
Shenyue Xingyun smiled and nodded: "That's right, we knew each other before."
"Right, Obito?"
Obito Uchiha's eye twitched.
"That's right, we knew each other before."
"An old friend."
Shingetsu Seiun smiled, nodded to Hatake Kakashi, and then looked at Nohara Rin amidst Uchiha Obito's sudden rapid breathing.
"have not seen you for a long time."
"How have you been lately?"
Rin Nohara gave a complicated smile.
"fine."
Shenyue Xingyun: "That's good."
He had no intention of provoking Nohara Rin, and after a brief greeting, he looked at Namikaze Minato: "Jonin Minato, let's go."
Minato Namikaze also vaguely realized that the relationship between the three was probably not as simple as just ordinary acquaintances. He didn't say anything more and nodded: "Okay."
"Nebula Jonin, I'll show you around the area."
After Shingetsu Seiun left, Obito Uchiha looked in the direction he had gone and snorted coldly.
"Arrogant."
"So what if he has a nickname? He acts all high and mighty like he's Hokage now. And Minato-sensei, why even bother with him?"
Beside him, Kakashi Hatake rolled his eyes and shook his head slightly upon hearing this.
He had long recognized Obito's true nature—outwardly strong but inwardly weak—in front of Shingetsu Seiun.
Obito Uchiha caught a glimpse of his actions out of the corner of his eye and immediately turned his attention to him.
"What's wrong?"
"You think what I said is wrong?"
Kakashi Hatake replied, "What do you think?"
"That's a title, a title given to them by the enemy, not a nickname."
"When you finally have your own reputation, maybe Minato-sensei will treat you just as politely."
Obito Uchiha smirked, "Me?"
"If I ever have a title in the future, it definitely won't be something like 'Konoha Demon Star.' It will be at least ten times more impressive and ten times better-sounding than that!"
Kakashi Hatake: "Like the biggest romantic in Konoha?"
"Are the Uchiha clan members brainless?"
"Or, what do you think of 'Grandma's Savior'?"
Obito Uchiha remained silent, but his face gradually turned red.
"Kakashi, you bastard—"
"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"
"I'm so angry, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
